Free Music Review: The Proof is in ... Just For the Record
Hit: 5 Stars
Barbra Streisand is one of the best artist of all time. What a great job they did with ...Just for the Record. It is a musical biography. For those of us who first listened to Streisand's music in the 70's and 80's is a thrill to listen to her recordings from the 60's. In fact, the 60's part of the collection has become one my favorite cd's. I love to listen to my favorites -- The Way We Were, Evergreen, A Piece of Sky and found that I have been missing out on so many other beautiful, funny and amazing songs Streisand has performed throughout her career. Another excellent part of this collection is the dialogue from the awards and her introductions to the songs from Yentl. If you have an appreciation for true musical talent and are tired of listening to so called artist that are currently out there, this collection is perfect for you. Now, if only they would do a similar collection in DVD using the interviews and musical appeareances she has done for television. That would be wonderful, not only for her fans, but for those who will see proof of why Barbra Streisand is legendary. Amazon's service was excellent, I received the package 3 days after I purchased it.Free Music Review: Wonderful

Released as a career retrospective in 1991, this collection of rarities, never-before-available tracks, and so on is fantastic. It has some remarkable tracks that any fan shouldn't be without.
Disc one has many early 60s recordings, such as a beautiful version of "Moon River" (pre-Movie Album), "Miss Marmelstein" from her turn in I Can Get it For You Wholesale, and the highlight of the first disc, her beautifully harmonious duet with Judy Garland, "Get Happy/Happy Days are Here Again." The second disc continues with the 60s, and we mostly get tracks we probably own elsewhere ("People," "Don't Rain on My Parade"), though it is interesting to hear some acceptance speeches from her Emmy and Best Actress Oscar wins. The 70s disc is probably the best disc, since it features not only wonderful never-before-released tracks, such as "The Singer," but also movie songs never available on a Barbra album, like her great cover of "You're the Top" for What's Up Doc, or the soundtrack version of "The Way We Were." The 80s disc, however, is the worst one, since it is almost all rehashed material from past albums, like "Over the Rainbow" from One Voice, or a bunch of tracks from the Broadway album. But it's still a great disc, if only for her duet with Neil Diamond at the Grammys in 1980, one of the biggest performances in the ceremony's history.
This set is a great collection, but is not for the casual fan, or the person looking to discover her. There are better best of collections out there for them. This is, in fact, a truly great retrospective of Barbra Streisand's beginning, middle, and end (though she wasn't finished just yet). All fans of the singer should have this. It isn't perfect, but there is very little bad you can say about it.
